Important Information!
For now fence in an area to place your Nested Beach balls so you know exactly where they are at.
The Nested Beach Ball disappears when you use the inflation pump on it.
Remember where you placed it!
It takes one hour to get the sunglasses from it.

To pair with my animal (technically chicken) Ferris wheel.

I keep buying the balls and when I go back they have disappeared. I have lost at least 6 balls and at this rate I will never get my sunglasses

It is there but invisible

Okay yes I can confirm for Goal 4 you get a Chicken Beach Ball as a prize. If oyu want additional, you can buy for gems.

It is a one time use, so if you?d like to save it as a decoration I would recommend you keep it in the cellar. It automatically goes there if you win it from the goal.

[2loveinxs]

Mine have disappeared tooo..... I wondered what was going on!

Even though they disappeared, you will still get the item. You just need to click on the spot that you had placed the beach ball.

[judyandthecat]

Until the disappearing ball is fixed this is what I have done.
I fenced in an area that I have placed the balls so that I know exactly where they are!
You still get the item but it is difficult when the ball is invisible.

That?s a great idea!!

I used the tea garden fence from the last leaderboard since I had no use for them.

I may need to make the area bigger though

Thanks judyandthecat! Great advice. I didn?t realize that the balls disappear. You made my day much better!

[redfoxytail]

I had 10 Invisible balls going waiting for sunglasses. Suddenly all the balls appeared but all the countdowns disappeared. I picked up 2 finished balls saw the sunglasses icons but they never made it to my inventory. For something that is needed for every goal so far this is beyond frustrating.

This happens sometimes to me. All you have to do is force close your device and they will appear in your inventory or it will allow you to collect them again.

If you are on iOS here is how to force close:

Device with Home Button:
Double click the home button
Swipe up on the Farm Story 2 app
Relaunch the game

Device without Home Button:
Swipe up halfway and pause
Swipe up on the Farm Story 2 app
Relaunch the game

Okay so it seems like the issue with beach balls is fixed.

That's nice. It gives me that little motivation push I needed to get something done in this event. As I barely had any before hearing that.

Also, for size reference, is it the same size as the regalar beach balls (1x1) ???

Yes, it is the same size as the regular beach ball for the Pool Days event but with a chicken on top.

[tsumtsum27]

Pig pool. That is a deco ?

[Paul__]

Pig pool. That is a deco ?

Yes. It is the prize for completing step of the main goal line.

[missbeccalou]

Is anybody else struggling with a SUPER low drop rate? I?m lucky if I get ANY beach towels when I collect from my pigs. I just collected and got nothing. The time before that I got 1. Can hardly find any in the market, either. I also got ONE pair of flip flops out of about 40 mining tools! I?ve had slightly better luck buying those though. But at this rate I won?t be able to finish the diving board before the event is over.

[tsumtsum27]

Yes. It is the prize for completing step of the main goal line.

Thank u for conform it is a deco. I'll give the party pack for the duck pet instead.

[Moissonor]

Is it possible to get a Pool Towel from Pigs before goal 4 ?

[judyandthecat]

Is it possible to get a Pool Towel from Pigs before goal 4 ?

Yes you can get all event items or buy from the newspaper before reaching the goal.
You have to complete goals to open up recipes.

Gentle Gazebo again then how to do?

Please guide me how to settle? I used money to buy the gems but cant use my right to keep my pets living?


Thanks Brenda

The floating duck goes in the summer pool habitat which is currently on sale in the market for coins.
If you are playing on an Apple device you can also store animals you have out on your farm.
I switch animals from cellar to farm depending on the season and how I am decorating.

Everyday you can win a Colorful Beach Ball by visiting 10 community farmers and sending 20 planes.
Your reward is a Ball which you then smash for a prize.

Adding to what judy says, if you get 23 of them you get an all new pet!

[TwixAndScones]

Yes! I finally got the chicken beach ball, I already have it displayed, but, I won't use any weird blue things on them, just so I can actually have it and keep it as a decoration after the event ends and is over with.

If the gems go on sale again, I'll buy some "Duck Swimming Signs" and place them near my fishing area that I've just expanded.


I'll place them behind the fences, I hope i can get 4 of the signs, at least - before the signs are gone.

Since I don't understand this event (If nothing else) I'll at least get something to enjoy from it.

Cannot wait, so hopefully they go one sale!

I love decorations and I like to decorate.

So here's hoping the gems go on sale for me soon!

They often make yellow signs, now it is blue I love it too (even though I'm not buying it). They should try light green or neon pink too :D

[TwixAndScones]

Yes, it's definitely different compared to the regular yellow signs I'm used to seeing.

I like the blue colour as well, along with the water design they added in with the duck.

The detailing is nice.

How do you ?use? any of these items? All they?re doing for me is sucking up barn storage and there is no info about what to do with the 70 beach balls in my barn.

Read post 1 page 1 of this thread.
They are used in the recipes for the Goals.
There is a pet as a reward.
Or if you don't want to do the event then you can put them in your store and sell them.

[PookieBear50]

Sigh. So far behind because of returning to work...not sure I'll be able to catch up unless I get really lucky and find what I need in the newspaper in time. Guess I'll post in the Buy/Sell thread, but I need a LOT of things if I'm going to finish. Oh well.
